Phoenix Arise heralds the birth of visual philosophy and self-evident
multidimensionality. The discovery of its sacred geometries, DNA/double
helix pattern, ancient alien face and mandala or medicine wheel shapes came
from chance and a friend’s daughter playing with the cards.

Phoenix Arise was printed in card form for an exhibition at Olandar.
Amazingly and unintentionally, exactly 365 invitations were mailed out. The
unsent cards, in the process of being stored, fell, revealing fascinating
and beautiful hidden patterns that lead to the discovery of the holographic
DNA-Double Helix.

The 365 invitations of Phoenix Arise revealed that each card represented
one day of the solar year. Each day is composed of the original pattern of
Phoenix Arise. And when combined with the other days create the DNA pattern
and its holographic weave.

This is a contemporary retelling of a story from the Corpus Hermeticum,
an ancient Egyptian text expressing the wisdom teachings of Thoth-Hermes,
the divine intermediary and Gnostic revealer. The story is told of an
invitation and proclamation made to the hearts of those who wish to know
themselves beyond the veil of time. Not everyone attends this revelation and
thus Thoth teaches that all are given reason, but only those that attend the
invitation to re-member themselves are given mind. It is this mind and will
to re-member that Phoenix Arise now emerges to nourish and inspire.

The deeper one investigates the multidimensionality of Phoenix Arise the
more staggering its implications become. One of the patterns that preceded
the emergence of the first mandala or medicine wheel was that of the
umbilical serpent or Ouroborus, the ancient living symbol of the union of
Alpha and Omega.

A young girl playing with the cards formed the umbilical serpent into a
circle and the first mandala shape was born. It revealed the ancient
Ouroborus as a medicine wheel with nests, feathers, eggs, heavens and
earths. It was composed from the great bird of immortality and wisdom, the
Phoenix itself.

Creative investigation and play lead to the discovery that the image
Phoenix Arise is infinitely divisible. Every division is based in wholeness
and is a recapitulation of its original pattern. The image can be joined at
any point from which a beautiful, unique blossom and sacred geometry will
unfold.

Where one chooses to conjoin the image will necessitate its own series of
cards. Number is restored to the realm of entity, archetype and beauty just
as the ancient Thoth-Hermes revealed.

When a nexus point is chosen, a mandala opens around its axis and an
archetypal entity unfolds itself in the form of a diamond wheel. It reveals
intimately and spontaneously the vast symphonic living qualities and
universes of consciousness within the invisible dimensions of thought.

Phoenix Arise reveals that one’s mind and being is composed in tone far
more than it is in time and that intelligence is a pattern of holographic
recognition, implication and vibratory alignment. The closest analogy for
this quality of alignment is that of an actor embodying a character. The
role itself is a creative thought-form and entity that by engagement
transforms and teaches the actor of worlds undreamt from his personal
reality. The actor does not lose himself in role-playing; rather he makes
himself innocent or empty enough to be acted upon by the inspiration of the
playwright’s vision. In so doing the actor creatively extends his
consciousness, becoming more psychologically rich in the process. This
assimilating of one’s greater self and potential through creative engagement
is the basis of ancient wisdom and the core invitation and implication of
Phoenix Arise.

The mandala-medicine wheel forms can be infinitely added to and when
viewed as one would a map, it becomes obvious that the flat mandala is, in
truth, a sphere. The visual implication is that each mandala sphere creates
a globe and world turning upon its axis at a particular nexus point in the
mother entity, Phoenix Arise. Each mandala globe forms an individual blossom
of consciousness whose inimitable reality and beauty arise from a
self-determining energetic matrix and unique living geometry. The inner eye
of the mandala opens as the hub in the center of the flower. Vision, the eye
and I become unique symphonies of beauty and multidimensionality.

Consciousness begins now to re-member itself as an infinitely blossoming
garden whose flowers all follow inner living geometries born of art and
splendor. The signature of each blossom tonally establishes its own
energetic gravity and personal vibratory character. The unique spin of each
mandala globe upon its axis creates mental gravitational fields that focus
the original seed consciousness within a particular geometrical patterning
and matrix. The matrix – bindu point generates the unfolding of the petals
of the mandala. The blossom is composed of its own multidimensional
refractions, each refraction recapitulating the Origin-All parent entity,
Phoenix Arise.

The opening of the holographic mandala wheel sets its unique nexus
qualities into motion as a thrusting outward of the vital force of
generation and self-replication. This grows the web and weave of the
holographic DNA/Double Helix. Each mandala blossom and globe awakens as a
particular vibratory reality turning upon implicit tonal, musical and
mathematical patterning. Thus physical laws, fundamental principles and
sequential time arise from the unique axis point that projects itself into a
particular mandala sphere and world.

The gift borne by Phoenix Arise for human consciousness is that through
creative play, imaginative inquiry and personal experimentation its
multidimensional patterning will begin to recompose the human brain
patterning of sequence and time. Holographic recapitulation works beneath
linear thought and belief within tonal signatures of visual wisdom and
multidimensional splendor. Intimate and personal adventure with the cards
will draw forth-remerging patterns of multidimensional mind and
self-knowledge. Each individual uniquely will develop sympathy and creative
alignment with holographic remembrance, opening just like the mandala
blossoms.

Phoenix Arise is visual philosophy and serves much the same function as
crop circles reminding us that all is the weave of nascent intelligences.
All that is emerges from beauty, love and art, growing from nexus it forms
ever greater ratios of symphonic consciousness. All qualities, condition and
being are holographic notes in the multidimensional universes of the same
One Origin-All seed pattern and womb, Phoenix Arise. All objects, shapes,
beings and environments arise from the same energetic tonal matrix, emerging
exponentially from infinite nexus points, each unfolding as a universal
mandala and sacred geometry.

The DNA/Double helix weave reveals that everything is woven of mental
energy and that to understand ourselves we must re-member our deeper
patterns and in so doing our deeper patterns will re-member us.

Olandar Foundation for Emerging Renaissance (OFFER) and Olandar Press are
dedicated to the patterns and multidimensional seeds of rebirth and
creation. Olandar is a mythic entity of perennial wisdom and archetypal
alignment whose basis is visual philosophy, which asks for no belief only
exploration and curiosity. Olandar embodies in living tangible form the
Socratic truth that an unexamined life is not worth living. Olandar forms
a philosophical seed and ark of consciousness that has gathered back unto
its home the vital blessings that ennoble our human journey. Olandar plants
itself as a seed pattern and model, anchoring that which ennobles us and
deepens our wonder. It reveals itself as intimacy and majesty and can be
replicated in every home uniquely. Olandar states that the home/heart is the
center, which is everywhere and the circumference that is nowhere.

It is time to return home, to examine that which we can know in the palm
of our hand and the life that we live and know. We are to ask our questions
intimately and within the embrace and tenderness of those we love. We are to
seek wisdom through loving this life intimately, creatively, passionately
and to begin growing philosophical seed arks of consciousness, individual
mandalas drawn together through shared geometries and sympathetic
patterning. Life is our sacred beloved, whose majesty and art reveals
infinite beautiful blossoms and universes.

The mythic implications of this work became an unexpected reality on
January 30, 2005 at 1:30 in the afternoon when a Great White Heron was
discovered standing in the middle of the living room rug at Olandar at the
moment of placing the just completed Olandar vision statement on the dinning
room table. The Heron flew onto the living room couch and stood like an old
Aesop’s Fable professor holding inner communion with Leigh for over 30
minutes. It is remarkable to be visited by any bird in ones home, but what
makes this story fascinating is that the Great White Heron is the ancient
Egyptian Phoenix bird that arises atop the Ben-Ben Stone that caps the great
pyramid as emerges from the primordial waters of chaos. The Great White
Heron is the herald of the ancient Egyptian Magus, Thoth-Hermes whose
Phoenix form returns to Olandar, and the waters of Hieroglyph of the Human
Soul, to bless the home of Phoenix Arise. All things come full circle and
both history and mythology begin to weave an ever-blossoming adventure of
consciousness. All begins now. Now we begin.

And Eternity in an
